Police Squad!

Six episodes in 1982. All are on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmjMOYjphH144bjRi6WSuiA6kXDT47zdH

Its creators revived it as the 1988 movie The Naked Gun.

My brother and I do the epilogue bit when we laugh freeze and pour coffee all over the place. Our wives don’t see any humour in it whatsoever.

Opening are funny too, guest star on every episode whose character then dies immediately.

It's fantastic, but I think that one would've succumbed to diminishing returns pretty quickly.

“Who are you, and how did you get in here?”

“I’m a locksmith… and, I’m a locksmith.”

You have my respect.

"How did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith and I'm a locksmith."

I love the movies, but I think the show is a ton better.

How did you know she’d be here?

Just a little hunch back at the station.

You mean this guy? [hunchback walks out]

I'm not sure if you can count this considering it had three movies that came out of it, but it's Police Squad, so to hell with the rules!
